The specimens cited above are all intermediate in their cliaracters be- 

 tween A. canadensis and A. laevis and there can be little doubt that they 

 represent hybrid forms between these two species. The liybrid, as rej)re- 

 sented by the plants in the Arnold Arboretum differs from .1. canadensis 

 in the larger flowers, the longer and slenderer less pubescent racemes, in the 

 purplish young leaves covered with a less dense, more floccose tonicntum 

 which soon disappears entirely; from A. laevis it differs in the tonientuse 

 young leaves, the slightly villose racemes with more numerous flowers on 

 shorter pedicels and in the larger, more succulent fruit. Among the many 

 Amelanchier grown at the Arboretum it is easily the most hands(Hne and 

 always attracts attention by the abundance of its large flowers set off effec- 

 tively by the pur|>lish foliage; it forms a large tree-like shrub with wide- 

 spreading slender branches. As I saw it in 1893 in the Botanic Garden of 

 the Forest Academy at Muenden it formed a well-shaped small or medium- 

 sized tree with spreading branches; it had been received from the nursery of 

 Simon-Louis near Metz as A. lanciJoUa, a name which apparently was 

 never published. 



Amelanchier grandiflora f, rubescens, f. nov. 



A typo recedit floribus in alabastro intense purpureo-roseis, sub anthesi 

 levlter rosco sufTusis.
